When Seclore inaugurated its new Pune office last month, the move signalled far more than geographic growth. It reflected a deeper organisational shift—one rooted in strategic talent investment, transparent communication, and a culture built on trust.
“Pune gives us access to excellent engineering and product talent,” Shraddha Reghe, VP, People Practices, Seclore, shared. “But more importantly, it aligns with the mindset we’re looking for—people who can grow with us and contribute meaningfully.”
A Talent-Led Decision
Seclore’s Pune expansion was sparked by a clear trend: top candidates, and even existing employees, increasingly preferred to be based in the city. Many hires had relocated from Pune to Mumbai, while a sizable portion of the current workforce expressed interest in internal mobility. Establishing a strong presence in Pune, therefore, became a logical step—one that allows the company to tap into a specialised, skill-rich talent pool while giving employees flexibility in where they build their careers.
As the company undergoes an AI-led transformation, its hiring approach remains sharply focused on niche, high-impact capabilities. Every new addition is expected to contribute not just skills, but alignment with Seclore’s purpose and evolving vision.
Growth Backed by Intent
Seclore’s rapid expansion—its second new office in just six months—naturally raises questions about what’s next. While the leadership remains measured, they confirm the momentum is accelerating across the organisation.
“This is part of a larger transformation in our vision, our product, and the way we operate,” Reghe said. The company is moving ahead with seven execution pillars that shape everything—from customer trust to capability enhancement and market leadership.
Mumbai, too, is set for an upgrade: a new state-of-the-art office will become operational next year.
Communication as Cultural Glue
As Seclore grows across cities, maintaining cultural consistency has become a deliberate and strategic effort. “Communication is absolutely foundational for us,” Reghe emphasised.
Quarterly all-hands meetings, “WinWire” emails that celebrate every deal and acknowledge teams behind them, and the CEO’s regular newsletters are key platforms that keep people connected to the company-wide vision—not just their own function.
“The approach is simple: employees should always understand the bigger picture and the direction in which the organisation is moving. This clarity prevents silos and strengthens alignment across teams and locations,” she added.
Leadership That Shows Up
Culture at Seclore is reinforced not only through systems but through behaviour. Leaders are intentional about being approachable, people-centric, and present. They uphold the company's values and execution pillars consistently, ensuring that employees—regardless of geography—feel heard, supported, and included.
On the ground, regional HR representatives act as culture champions in every location. Working closely with the company’s Centre of Excellence, they ensure teams across geographies stay connected to the organisation’s global ways of working.
Trust That Drives Ownership
A defining element of Seclore’s culture is trust—something employees often cite as a reason they stay. A trust-driven environment empowers people to work independently, make decisions confidently, and take real ownership. The company’s unlimited leave policy, for instance, signals belief in employees’ judgment and creates a healthy balance between responsibility and freedom.
“The learning people gain from strong teams and the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology is another major factor,” the leadership noted. That shared energy is what makes people choose growth here over higher offers elsewhere,” Reghe mentioned.
Navigating India’s Fast-Changing Security Landscape
As a data-centric security company operating in a fast-growing economy like India, Seclore sees innovation and insight as its twin priorities. The organisation continues to invest in research and development while tracking evolving customer expectations closely.
“Understanding our domain deeply and staying aligned with customer needs is how we stay ahead,” Reghe said. Continuous enhancement, future-ready product design, and customer-driven insights form the backbone of its strategy.
Connected Across Pods, Platforms and Data Centres
With teams spread across multiple geographies and data centres, Seclore relies on cross-functional pods—bringing together product, engineering, support, and customer success—to maintain tight alignment. Shared dashboards, structured check-ins, and a clear operating rhythm ensure teams know not just what they are doing, but why.
AI also plays a supportive role, offering insights into engagement, learning needs, and collaboration patterns. It enhances decision-making without replacing the human judgment central to people's operations.
Purpose Beyond the Company
Employees at Seclore are consistently reminded that the impact of their work extends beyond the organisation. Through regular communication—town halls, success stories, and WinWire updates—they see how their efforts protect not just enterprise data but the data of citizens and institutions that rely on Seclore’s security ecosystem.
This clarity of purpose reinforces the company’s execution pillar of “Securing Customer Trust” and nurtures a deeper sense of responsibility.
At its core, Seclore’s Pune expansion is not merely an operational shift—it is a reflection of a culture-first philosophy.
Through transparent communication, people-centric leadership, and a deep trust in its teams, the company is building a connected, empowered organisation ready for its next phase of growth.
